History
[edit]Restaurateur Drew Nieporent had opened a restaurant in Tribeca in 1985 called Montrachet, naming it after the Burgundy wine region. The actor Robert De Niro, who was a regular customer at Montrachet, is quoted as saying "I always thought of having a restaurant — a place where people could meet and talk. Drew had Montrachet a few blocks away, and I said, well, let me ask Drew if he wants to do it."[6]
Restaurant
[edit]The restaurant was designed by architect Lo-Yi Chan.[7] It is housed in the building that was once the home of Martinson Coffee, and now houses the Tribeca Film Center. It is a central gathering place during the annual Tribeca Film Festival. Large paintings on the wall are original paintings by Robert De Niro Sr.[8] A 2000 interior renovation included the addition of large lighting fixtures by the architect David Rockwell.
Menu
[edit]The à la carte menu at Tribeca Grill changes on a seasonal basis, and on the basis of available ingredients. Some menu items have remained on the menu since the restaurant opened in 1990.

[edit]Since 2002, Tribeca Grill has been a recipient of the Wine Spectator Grand Award.[9]
